IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using an electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or
taking off parts, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp plug and pull from electrical outlet. Never pull cord.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not put the motor body,
cord or electrical plug of this hand blender in water or other liquids. Only the detachable blending shaft and other certain parts of this appliance have been designed for immersion into water or other liquids. Never submerge any other portion of this unit. If hand blender falls into liquid, remove immediately. Do not reach into the liquid without unplugging the unit first.
4. This appliance should not be used by children. To avoid
possible accidental injury, close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts. 6. During operation keep hands, hair and clothing, as well as
spatulas and other utensils, away from attachments and any mixing container to reduce risk of injury to persons and/or damage to the appliance. A spatula may be used, but must be used only when the unit is not operating.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug,
or after the appliance has malfunctioned or has been dropped or damaged in any way or is not operating properly. Return the appliance to the Customer Service Centre (see Warranty for details) for examination, repair or mechanical or electrical adjustment.
8. Remove detachable shaft from the blender before washing the
blades or shaft.
9. Blades are SHARP. Handle carefully when removing,
inserting or cleaning. Exercise the same care when removing, inserting the cutting blade or reversing disc for the food processor attachment.
10. When mixing liquids, especially hot liquids, use a tall container
or make small quantities at a time to reduce spillage, splattering and possibility of injury from burning.
11. To reduce the risk of injury, never place chopper/grinder
attachment cutting blade on base without first putting prep bowl properly in place.
12. Be certain the food processor attachment cover is securely
locked in place before operating appliance. Do not attempt to remove cover until blade has stopped rotating.
13. Check work bowl for presence of foreign objects before using. 14. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended by
Cuisinart may cause fire, electrical shock, or risk of injury.
15. Do not use outdoors or for other than intended use. 16. Do not let any cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
Do not let cord contact hot surfaces, including stovetop.
17. Make sure the appliance is off, the motor has stopped com-
pletely, and the appliance is unplugged from outlet before put- ting on or taking off attachments, and before cleaning.
18. Maximum rating is based on the 400W food processor
attachment that draws the greatest power.
19. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance garage or
under a wall cabinet. When storing in an appliance garage always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a risk of fire, especially if the appliance touches the walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it closes.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY NOTICE This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

OPERATION BLENDING The specially designed blade is for mixing and puréeing all kinds of foods, including salad dressings, powdered drink products, soups and sauces and blended drinks like milkshakes or smoothies. This blade mixes and stirs while adding only a minimum of air to your mixture. A gentle up-and-down motion is all you need to make the most flavorful, full-bodied recipes. Be careful never to remove the blending shaft from the liquid while in operation, for it will splatter. Tilt the pan or bowl away from you if needed to ensure the protective blade guard on the blending shaft is fully submerged.
1. Put blending shaft into mixture to be blended. 2. Press and hold the Power button. The hand blender will
continue to run as long as the button is pressed in. To turn hand blender off, release the Power button and the motor will stop.
3. Do not press the button for longer than 60 seconds at a time. 4. Unplug immediately after use.
CAUTION: DO NOT PUT FINGERS NEAR BLADE. TO DISLODGE FOOD, UNPLUG HAND BLENDER FROM THE OUTLET FIRST. PULSING To pulse, press and release Power button. FOOD PROCESSING CHOPPING FOOD
1. Place the work bowl firmly on a flat, sturdy surface like a
countertop.
2. Put food in the work bowl. Be sure the food is cut into small
pieces [½ to 1 inch (1.25 to 2.5 cm)], and the bowl is not overloaded.
3. Put the food processor cover on top of the work bowl. Be sure
the cover is properly seated.
4. Press and hold the Power button. Note: Due to the powerful motor provided with this unit,
Cuisinart recommends using one hand to support the work bowl during operation.
5. When you have finished processing the food, stop the machine
by taking your finger off the Power button.
6. WHEN THE BLADE STOPS MOVING, unplug the unit.
7. Remove the motor body with the cover from the work bowl.
8. Carefully remove the chopping blade, holding it by the gripping
ridges on the plastic sheath. NEVER TOUCH THE BLADE
ITSELF.
9. Remove food with a spatula. Note: Do not operate the food processor attachment
without food contents in the work bowl.
SLICING AND SHREDDING FOOD
The reversible slicing/shredding disc can slice and shred a variety of fruits, vegetables and cheeses. See Slicing and Shredding Tips on page 15. Refer to Slicing and Shredding Disc Assembly on page 9.
1. Place the work bowl firmly on a flat, sturdy surface like a
counter-top. Be sure the disc is assembled to use the desired cutting edge.
2. Insert food in feed tube. Insert pusher. Use light to moderate
pressure to push down on pusher with one hand while using your other hand to push the Power button on hand blender.
3. Slicing and shredding take only a few seconds. Wait until disc
stops spinning before removing cover. ALWAYS USE THE
PUSHER TO GUIDE FOOD THROUGH FEED TUBE. NEVER USE YOUR FINGERS OR A SPATULA.
4. Unplug hand blender. Remove cover, then the slicing/shredding
disc. To remove it, grasp flat top section of adapter stem and lift it straight up while holding the work bowl.
WHISKING
1. Insert the whisk attachment into the motor body. (See Assembly
for Whisk Attachment, page 10.)
2. Plug electrical cord into a wall socket. 3. Put the whisk into mixture to be blended. 4. Press and hold the Power button. The hand blender will
continue to run as long as the switch is pressed in. To turn hand blender off, release the Power button and the motor will stop.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE HAND BLENDER Always clean the motor body and blending shaft thoroughly after using. Remove the blending shaft from the motor body. Clean the
motor body only with a sponge or damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners that could scratch the surface. To clean the blending shaft, wash by hand in hot water using mild detergent. Be mindful of the fixed razor-sharp edges.

12 13
FOOD PROCESSOR ATTACHMENT To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, blade, disc and cover immediately after use so that food won’t dry on them. Do not submerge the work bowl cover in water or put in the dishwasher. Wash chopping blade, disc, stem, pusher and work bowl in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. Wipe the underside of the food processor cover with a sponge or damp cloth to remove any food. Wash the blade carefully. Avoid leaving it in soapy water where it may disappear from sight. You can wash the work bowl, chopping blade, disc and pusher on the upper shelf of your dishwasher. Unload the dishwasher carefully to avoid contact with the sharp blade. Wipe the motor body and top of the cover with a damp sponge or cloth. Dry it immediately. Never submerge the motor body or the cover in water or other liquids. The food processor attachment is intended for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. WHISK ATTACHMENT To clean your whisk attachment, simply release the attachment from the motor body housing. Once the whisk is removed, detach the metal whisk from the gearbox by pulling the pieces apart. To clean the gearbox, simply wipe with a damp cloth. To clean the metal whisk, wash with warm soapy water or put in the dishwasher. Do not submerge the gearbox in water or any other liquid. Any service, other than cleaning and normal user maintenance, should be performed by an authorized Cuisinart Service Representative. TIPS AND HINTS FOR HAND BLENDER
